Had In EIddeford.
rBiddeford Times.l


Every evening since Rev. Justin ID. Fulton
began his course of lectures in Y. nj. z. A.
Hall, the excitement has intensified, and last
evening it bid fair to terminate in a riot A
large gathering of men and boys had con-
gregated upon the sidewalk in front Of the
bank building half an hour before the lee
ture began, and those who climbed the stairs
to the hall saw plainly enough that trouble
was brewing. But the lecturer mounted the
stand at the usual hour and began his dis.
course upon "Romanism the assassin OF
Abraham Lincoln" taking for his text the
fifth verse of the eighteenth chapter OF Re-
velations: "For her sins have reached unto
Heaven and God hath remembered her ini
quities.
Ever hing was quiet within the hall,
though ne confusion made by the crowd at
the door and in the corridors could be dis
tinctly heard The lecturer had not pro-
ceeded far with his discourse when stone
crashed through the window behind him. 1t
was followed by another and another. one
striking the shoulder of Rev. G. b. Titus,
pastor Of the Saco Baptist church, who oc-
cupied a seat upon the platform. That a
feeling of fear pervaded the audience goes
without the saying. The speaker waited a
moment until the excitement had subsidized,
and then he proceeded with his remarks, as
calmly as though nothing out Of the regular
course had happened

by representatives of the British Legation.
The commissioners will be presented to the
President probably on Saturday. The day
for the beginning of the conference has not
been fixed, but It is thought probable that
the British commissioners will not require
more than few days for consultation, and
that the more formal work OF the commits
probable that the session will be held with
closed doors. The British commissioners
called on Secretary Bayard this noon.

thought of war as remote possibility in
